2021 Vina Carmen Sauvignon Blanc Reserva Premier 1850

In recent years, Chile has worked very successfully on high-quality Sauvignon Blanc. Planting in the cooler vineyards in particular played an important role in this. Casablanca Valley is such a region, where the coolness of the Pacific provides the perfect conditions for making fresh Sauvignons. The grapes ripen nicely here, but because they hang on the stick longer, they also retain their acidity. Due to the greater temperature differences between day and night, they are also more powerful in taste. The wine gets a wonderfully exotic character by fermentation at a very low temperature, around 12 °C. Prior to fermentation, the wine soaks on the skins for no less than ten days at a temperature of 3º - 4ºC, which gives it extra strength and flavour. With a maturation on the 'lie', the dead yeast cells, the education is completed. This also makes the wine gain in complexity and taste. It produces a delicious glass of Sauvignon, juicy, elegant, open, with a pronounced freshness.

In the glass, the 1850 Reserva Sauvignon has a light straw yellow color with a green tinge. On the nose, the wine is fragrant, with lime, citrus and flint, broad and exotic, a touch of boxwood, with pleasant gooseberries. In the mouth the wine is full and powerful, green pepper and asparagus, exciting, fresh and powerful at the same time, mild final. An excellent aperitif, delicious with oysters, shrimps, herring tartare, white meat and green salads.
